Technology
In this class I have had a chance to use technology. I use the same technology daily for my job and it has not been a challenge, but fun.
Online learning is the only way I have been able to continue my education and I'm thankful for it. I plan to start taking some classes in person when I transfer to NAU, but for now this is it for me and I love it.
I think having an online English class is great. I find the feedback to be very specific about my work and I think that's a good thing. When we are asked to read other student's work and make comments, being able to type the comments out makes them more meaningful because we have to really think about what we are saying and how to say it.
I think having a blog to say what I thought or felt about the assignments was the most beneficial in class. This was where I could say what I thought about a reading or an assignment and it was my space to say it.
I also liked using Glogster and will use that again. I thought it was a good way to show creativity and not just write something. It gave work more meaning and allowed me to show my creativity and say more with pictures, color, and art, not just words.
I think the use of technology was great in this class and I'm thankful for it!

I have enjoyed following your blog this semester. Your writing has been very easy to read and understand. I never got to do a Glogster this semester, looking back I wish that I had. Best of luck to you
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me while typing this last blog that I did have a lot of opportunities to grow creatively this semester. I feel like technology does cut some of the creativity out but still yields allot of chances to still be creative.
